Progesterone at encoding predicts subsequent emotional memory.
TLDR
It is shown that memory for emotional materials changes significantly in accordance with hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle, suggesting that ovarian sex hormones influence the modulation of emotional memories.

Menstrual cycle effects on perceptual closure mediate changes in performance on a fragmented objects test of implicit memory
Cognitive performance across the menstrual cycle
TLDR
The findings suggest that sex hormones, as reflected by menstrual cycle phase, selectively modulate cognitive performance.
Sex and modulatory menstrual cycle effects on sleep related memory consolidation
Menstrual Cycle Modulates Motor Learning and Memory Consolidation in Humans
TLDR
It is found not only poorer performance gain through initial ML but also lower final performance after overlearning a day and a week later in the luteal group than in the ovulation group, which could be explained by particular premenstrual syndrome symptoms.
The effect of oral contraceptives on performance in sexually dimorphic cognitive tasks
TLDR
There was a main effect for time for the MRT and the RSPAN, such that participants in all groups performed better during the second session, and future research can further examine this relationship with a larger sample and more reliable methods of assessing hormone levels.
Sustained attention is favored by progesterone during early luteal phase and visuo-spatial memory by estrogens during ovulatory phase in young women

Effect of estrogen on brain activation patterns in postmenopausal women during working memory tasks.
TLDR
The results suggest that estrogen in a therapeutic dosage alters brain activation patterns in postmenopausal women in specific brain regions during the performance of the sorts of memory function that are called upon frequently during any given day.
Estrogen effects on cognition in menopausal women
TLDR
Findings suggest that estrogen helps to maintain verbal memory and enhances the capacity for new learning in women, whereas other cognitive functions such as verbal memory are seemingly unaffected by this steroid hormone.

TLDR
Estrogen appears to have a specific effect on verbal memory skills in healthy postmenopausal women, and was significantly higher on tests of immediate and delayed paragraph recall compared to the scores of non‐users.

TLDR
Findings confirm the previous observation of the beneficial effects of ERT on figural memory and suggest an area for future research to examine mechanisms through which ERT may influence memory and other cognitive abilities.
